A Thank you, Marriot points, and a favor to ask.


Of course I want to first thank the S family for their contribution of 200 dollars to Alena's Heart Fund! I have also sold a few things on Craigslist so now we are at 1805!! still 1195 to go but a lot closer!!

First of all I'd like to ask you all to join Alena's Facebook group on well... Facebook! Here is the link for that. You need to ask to join but I will approve you as soon as I see you and you will get reminders when Alena's blog is updated and faster updates when she is in the hospital as well. You can also keep track of Alena by following this blog with your own blogger account.

The second thing I'd like you to do is to post about the points fundraiser. Alena currently has 50k points and that will get us two nights at a hotel but we are hoping to get enough points for 14 nights. That's about 200,000 points. I'm asking you to post it to whatever you use to communicate on the Internet, post it to your Facebook, twitter, Google, email it to your friends or post it to your blog, however works for you! Basically you could post something like this (feel free to copy and paste) : The link for instructions is here.

If anyone has a Marriott's rewards account you can help out a friend of mine: Mary Zupko. Her daughter is having open heart surgery in California and is raising funds for travel and living expenses while there. They think they will be there for 2 weeks. They have set up a special account with Marriott and you can donate your points to her to help her get lodging for free using points. You can find details about how to donate your points to their family on their blog here:http://alenasbrokenheart.blogspot.com/2012/05/wanna-get-to-know-alena-and-find-new.html
